What is Symbolon?Maybe you have been a Catholic all your life or you are curious as to what this faith is all about or even what it truly believes in. We can always learn more about the Catholic faith because it springs from an abundantly rich tradition, spanning from the time of Jesus Christ to the present.

Symbolon takes us on an in-depth journey that explores many of the essentials of the Catholic Faith. The course is run over a period of ten weeks. We will look at what faith is all about, the existence of divine revelation, why you and I need Jesus, why the Church exists, why Mary and the communion of saints are important in our lives, and much more. It is an opportunity for all to come to know the Catholic faith more deeply.

For those who participated in Alpha, this course will serve to deepen your faith even more!
